The Wheel That Moved Only on It's Axis

  

From cave walls to cosmic orbits,

the wheels kept turning—

yet the man who drove them remained the same.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------



The wheels moved on,

and so did the man from the cave.

Each new invention

carried him farther away from nature.


Villages emerged,

the hunter-gatherer faded.

Farming began—

seeds were sown,

songs were sung,

and clans rejoiced together.


Then arose the idea of supremacy.

Within the clan,

power learned to speak louder than wisdom.

Fights followed,

and betrayal found a home.


Armed men no longer hunted beasts alone;

they hunted their own kind.

Warriors defended and ruled,

swearing in God’s name,

yet the cave-born belief—

that might is right

remained a primal inheritance.


Ages passed.

Rulers rose and perished,

empires bloomed and crumbled,

but the psyche never diminished.


Each advance sharpened authority’s blade.

Progress armed the ruler

to perfect the art of tyranny.


Machines, forged by human hands,

were cloned with the primal hunter’s spirit—

now dressed in steel and code.


Thus heartless machines hunt

with calculated precision,

maneuvered by orders,

obedient and without conscience.


Artificial Intelligence leapt far ahead of its time—

a gift meant to serve humankind.

Yet some clowns misused it for war,

turning a boon into a weapon,

amplifying destruction

where healing was possible.


Weapons now think faster than fear.

One command,

one miscalculation,

and the cave within us

could ignite the world.


Before such tyrant leave the world,

they leave behind riches—

vaults heavy with loot.


But generations inherit

only contempt,

remembering that once

lived a soulless tyrant.

The Pristein Ring Master : A circus called the world

A poetic reflection on leadership, chaos and hope. The Pristein Ring Master   People gathered to witness the world’s oldest circus. At first, performers like fire breathers and jugglers brought delight, Aerialists — trapeze artists and acrobats — amazed the little ones with their flights. But soon, the strongman gave a stern look to the tightrope walker . The magician tried to douse the fire breather’s flame. The clowns — once beloved — entered the ring, And played the worst trumpet known to fame. Their friendly tussle turned too real, Peace, to them, was an unfunny deal. As with world leaders who, too, reject stillness, Addicted to noise, chaos, and the ringing of cash registers. Amid the uproar, the absence of the Ring Master was deeply felt. A cry rose from the crowd — where was he? Behind the dark curtains, a shadow stirred, And from it emerged the Ring Master, finally. With a whip crack and silent grace, Even the furious clowns froze in place. Normalcy returned, laughter r...

The Gini and Me

The Gini and Me I once opened a bottle and a gini came out. The stories I believed as a child melted quietly in my youth— never real, yet never forgotten. As I slided toward maturity, AI gripped the world around me. I want to bottle AI. Remove it, use it, pack it again and again— like a tool, not a tether. Let me feel the wind with skin, not sensors. Let me fail, foolishly, and laugh with no algorithm watching. Let me look as I am— with no filters. Let me be a human— with a brain and a beating, perseverance spider.

Essence of life

A contemplative poem on life journey. Essence of life lies in moving on — from stages of attachment to detachment , desires to nothingness , compulsion to repulsion , selfishness to generosity , darkness to enlightenment , fakeness to authenticity , certainty to uncertainty , vocal to silence — and sometimes, just being an observer and not being judgemental.
